+- Update `[fd]createReadStream`/`[fd]createWriteStream` to allow more options (#77 by @JordanMartinez)
+
+  | Removes... | ...in favor of |
+  | - | - |
+  | `createReadStreamWith` | `createReadStream'` |
+  | `fdCreateReadStreamWith` | `fdCreateReadStream'` |
+  | `createWriteStreamWith` | `createWriteStream'` |

+  In the new APIs, all options are exposed and may require converting 
+  PureScript values to JavaScript ones.
